Re: bikram yoga

I would love to try this but I always convince myself I can't do it. How did you like it? Hope you feel better!

Re: bikram yoga

yes, it is normal. i used to take hot yoga classes. the teacher told me that you get very dehyrated during the class and that is why you feel nauseous. i felt that way too. i also had a headaches. they suggested to drink a lot of water before, during, and after the class.

Re: bikram yoga

Yup. Just keep yourself really hydrated. It's normal.

I also crave salt after class because your body loses that too.

Re: bikram yoga

totally normal!! i'm glad you liked it!

what studio did you go to?

Re: bikram yoga

Welcome to the addiction! I hope you loved it? Where did you go?

Sickness and dizziness are totally normal. Just make sure you hydrate. It's important to be well hydrated before class and then again after. Get yourself a bottle of Zico for post-class or a quick pre-class hydrate (but def after, esp if you're not feeling too hot). The best water to have during class is Smart Water because it has electrolytes in it.

FM me any time with questions! I looooove bikram. I go to the studio in RVC.

Re: bikram yoga

i went in astoria. i actually really liked it!! it was so peaceful and i liked how it keeps your mind off all the bs thats going on in your life. the best part is i dont feel sore today! (ok granted i didnt DO much yesterday, but i sweated like a horse). DH and i bought a month pass and i actually cant wait to go back!
